Free; he was free at last.

After many seasons of being forced to live as a kittypet, Nero had managed his grand escape. He'd fled the Twolegplace as fast as his legs would allow. But… now that he'd gotten out, what was he supposed to do next? The reddish-orange tom had no idea how to get back home to his parents - or if they were even still alive, for that matter. It had been a long time. Was IceClan still the same? Would he be welcome there, or even remembered for that matter, if he did find a way back?

Paws sore from walking so far, Nero flopped down in the shade of a ragged-looking shrub and looked around. It was pretty empty out here, and vastly different from any sort of environment he'd lived in before. Did other cats live here? Maybe finding them, if there were any, would be a good place to start.
